Chapter 87 Wow, it's really delicious!
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan didn't refuse. He skillfully tore open the sausage packaging and took a small bite. After chewing it carefully, he nodded in satisfaction and exclaimed:
"Mmm, it tastes really good! Everyone should try it!"
Seeing this, the others followed suit and began to enjoy the sausages in their hands.
Immediately, praises arose one after another.
Wow, this is so delicious!
"It's absolutely delicious!"
...The whole scene was filled with joy and warmth.
This ham sausage production line can be considered a successful launch.
Zhao Yuan then learned in detail from Engineer Li about the safety operation and maintenance of the entire production line. Zhou Jiefang was good at physics and went to Gong Xianjin's department after returning to school, so he learned quickly and well, and soon understood the emergency handling methods and simple maintenance methods for various problems.
Today was a great day for Zhaoyuan's family to have their fire going. Everyone closed the factory gates and took the freshly produced sausages back to their own courtyards.
In the courtyard, Zhao Laidi was taking care of Zhao Nana, while everyone else, including Aunt Zhong, was busy. Uncle Zhong was cutting meat, Lin Fangfang was washing vegetables, Aunt Zhong was helping to press water, Zhao Zhaodi was cooking rice in the kitchen, and the table in the courtyard was full of prepared dishes.
The courtyard was filled with a lively and warm atmosphere.
Due to the numerous and urgent matters involved in the housewarming ceremony, Zhaoyuan initially had no intention of hosting a banquet for everyone. Therefore, she did not inform the villagers or invite her maternal relatives and friends. She simply wanted to get the housewarming ceremony done so that it would be more convenient for her to cook in the future.
However, despite the strong persuasion from Fan Bo, Zheng Ziqi, and others, he finally agreed and invited Tu Chenglong and his wife, Fan Bo, Zheng Ziqi, Yang Fushan, and other friends.
Zhao Yuan arranged for Zhou Jiefang to entertain Gong Xianjin and Li Gong, while he himself rolled up his sleeves and devoted himself to the preparation of dinner.
Busy times always fly by.
Before long, everyone arrived at the courtyard, where two large round tables were set up.
Everyone was exchanging ideas.
Lin Fangfang, the hostess, was busy entertaining the guests in the courtyard, serving tea and cigarettes.
Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong also came to help set out the dishes.
As for Zhao Yuan, he was busy and having a great time in the kitchen.
Not long before mealtime, something unexpected happened—County Chief Yang Xilai and Party Secretary Zhang Donglin appeared together in the quiet courtyard.
"County Chief Yang! Secretary Zhang!" Zheng Ziqi caught sight of County Chief Yang and Secretary Zhang and quickly stepped forward to greet them warmly.
Lin Fangfang quickly realized what was happening. She went into the kitchen, took the spatula from Zhaoyuan's hand, and whispered to him:
"Brother Yuan, a leader has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan immediately put down what he was doing, quickly wiped his hands clean, and hurriedly came out of the kitchen.
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, County Chief Yang and I came here specifically to freeload a meal! You didn't even invite us to such a wonderful opportunity! After County Chief Yang tasted your cooking last time, he bragged about it to me several times, making my mouth water! So today, I absolutely had to come and try it."
Secretary Zhang Donglin looked at Zhao Yuan with a broad smile and said.
"Secretary Zhang, County Head Yang, it's a great honor to have you two grace us with your presence! It's hardly a free meal! Please, take a seat. Look at my hands, they're covered in grease. Just two more dishes and we'll be done. Zhou Jiefang, could you help us entertain them?"
As Zhao Yuan spoke, he looked at the two distinguished guests with a slightly apologetic gaze.
After saying hello, Zhao Yuan immediately returned to the kitchen to cook.
In the courtyard, everyone introduced themselves and greeted each other.
"Dinner is ready."
Uncle Zhong helped greet the guests.
Soon everyone took their seats. Lin Fangfang and Zhou Jiefang busied themselves bringing all the dishes to the table, and Zhao Yuan took out Moutai liquor. Everyone began to eat and drink.
Before the meal, Zhao Yuan once again introduced Professor Xiao Haowen, Zhao Xiaoqing, Gong Xianjin, Engineer Li, and others who had come from afar to Secretary Zhang Donglin and County Head Yang Xilai. After a brief introduction, everyone got to know each other.
Amidst the delicious food and the aroma of Moutai liquor provided by Zhaoyuan, everyone chatted happily in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
Although Gong Xianjin and Li Gong had to catch their train, they were not in a hurry. They enjoyed the delicious food while sharing the latest happenings in Beijing with everyone.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
However, due to time constraints, Gong Xianjin and Li Gong had to say goodbye early. They stood up, apologized to everyone, and expressed their hope to meet again in the future.
Everyone stood up, shook hands with them to say goodbye, and wished them a safe journey.
Amidst hurried farewells, Gong Xianjin and Engineer Li left the banquet, preparing to embark on their journey back to Beijing.
Before leaving, Zhao Yuan smiled, carrying two bags in each hand. He walked up to Gong Xianjin and Engineer Li and handed them the bags.
He said sincerely, "Professor Gong, Engineer Li, this contains our first batch of ham sausages. Please take them home and let your families try them. If you like them, give me a call later and I will mail them to you."
"Why mail it? Brother Zhao's skills are so good, his sausages are sure to sell like hotcakes. I wish Brother Zhao's food factory great success, and that he can sell his sausages in Beijing as soon as possible. It would be best if he could open a factory in Beijing."
Gong Xianjin said happily.
After he finished speaking, a burst of cheerful laughter and applause immediately filled the room.
In a pleasant atmosphere, everyone began to say goodbye one by one, and Zhao Yuan personally gave each person who was about to leave a bag of ham sausages as a gift.
At this moment, Lin Fangfang and Zhao Zhaodi were busy in the yard, quickly cleaning up the leftover food on the table and carefully sweeping the entire yard.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong rushed forward to help with the work.
Zhao Yuan quickly stepped forward and advised Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, Aunt Zhong, you two have been busy all day! You should go home and rest. We can handle the rest."
However, Aunt Zhong firmly shook her head, indicating that she did not feel tired at all, but rather enjoyed the lively scene.
She insisted on helping Lin Fangfang tidy up all the tables and chairs and thoroughly cleaning the yard before leaving.
Faced with Aunt Zhong's persistence, Zhao Yuan had no choice but to comply with the wishes of the two elderly people.
Finally, when all the matters were settled, the once noisy courtyard gradually returned to tranquility.
At this moment, the stars twinkle in the night sky, and a gentle breeze blows by, making everything seem exceptionally beautiful.
